Shake It Off // Music Monday

Happy Monday! 
I'm actually really excited to write this post because it pretty much gives me a reason to ramble on about Taylor Swift and her new single Shake It Off.
Last Monday night Taylor held a livestream where she announced her new single and music video as well as some information about her new album 1989 which will be out later this year in October. 
I was trying to write this post whilst listening to Shake It Off but I just ended up dancing for 4 minutes so that was unproductive. That's what happens when I hear it though, I just want to get up dance, how ever crazy I look. 
This really isn't one of those songs that I can pick apart and decipher a personal meaning for really. I find the song to be pretty self explanatory, but I don't mind that at all. It fun. And I love seeing this side of Taylor because it lets us know that she's okay, and most importantly happy.
I don't really have much else to say apart from that I love this song and I just can't get enough of it! 
You can listen to it HERE

See you tomorrow! 

Blood Brothers ~ Ingrid Michaelson // Music Monday

Happy Monday!
Today, I thought I go back to what I used to do every week which was tell you about a song that I had been loving.
I recently discovered an American artist called Ingrid Michaelson through her song Girls Chase Boys *which I love* and since then I've fallen in love with pretty much all of her songs although lately I've really been loving her song called Blood Brothers.
I didn't actually realise how repetitive the song is until it came to writing this post but I really don't mind that at all otherwise I would have picked up on that fact much sooner.
One of my favourite lines in the song is

"We're all the same, under a different name"

 which I think sums up the whole song perfectly, and also the music video. 

I love how this song really pushes forward the idea of equality but in a different way and not just going 'yay for equality' because that could be rather boring, however true I think it is. 

I think it's equality plays a vital part in life in general and I'm very proud to say that where I live it is what is expected of a person and very one is very polite and accommodating to all. 

I love the whole concept of the music video. I think it's very original and speaks just as loud as the song does. You can watch it down below.

See you tomorrow! 

Schhol's Out Playlist // Music Monday

Happy Monday!
I've sort of decided that for the month of August I will dedicate Monday's posts to music, whether that be telling you about a current favourite song or artist or maybe even creating a playlist full of songs I love which is what's going on today.
As August is here, summer is here. Well that's how it works in my mind anyway. As a result of that I've created a playlist full of start of the summer songs. Yes, I know, some of them are rather cheesy but they never fail to put me in a good summer-y mood.
If my technology skills are of an average level then hopefully you'll be able to listen to the playlist below however if they aren't feel free to click here.

School's Out from kelly-mariex on 8tracks Radio.

Okay, I don't think I'm capable of embedding the player into this post so if you would like to listen to the playlist then please follow the link above.
Thanks for reading and happy listening! 

See you tomorrow!
